Halloween Costume Contest!!

Every year for fun we take pictures of the neighborhood kids all dressed up for trick or treating,  and then offer digital images to any parent that wants one.  It’s just a fun way to bring my passion for capturing the moments of our lives into the festivities. Well, this year, we’d like to take it a step further, and have a costume contest!

Here’s how it works. View the CWP Halloween gallery [ http://www.imagequix.com/photog.php?id=L9WKF99&ec=ladybug ] to vote. You must have a password to enter. each email address get 2 votes. One for your own child, naturally, and one for someone else’s child; you may not vote for the same image twice. However, you ask as many friends and family to vote as you desire! Remember, every email address gets two votes, but no duplicates….  Send the email to carri@carriwortonphoto.com marked “HALLOWEEN CONTEST” in the subject line.

Well that’s how it works…. here’s what the child with most votes wins… A FREE CHRISTMAS MINI SESSION! That’s right, a free session all decked out and ready for Christmas! receive a free digital image for making holiday Christmas cards also!

Contest will end November 15th to give the winner time to get their Christmas session in before it’s too late to get cards made and sent. Winner must redeem session before December 1st.

Good luck everyone and start voting!

New Changes

Just wanted to let everyone know that we will be making some policy chages at the start of the year for future clients.  We’ve learned a lot this year, tried new things and found out what really wasn’t working. Thank you to all our awesome clients from the summer/autumn session. You have all been great and I hope to be shooting the special moments of your lives for many years, turning moments into memories! So many new things are available and new marketing ideas, so though there may be minor changes, we will still be striving to offer the best of what we have at good prices and doing our best for you, our clients whom we truely treasure. Thank you for being part of this important year in the growth of CWP! Huggs to all! ~Carri

A moment captured…

While attending the invitational at my neice & nephew’s school, I saw this moment of unity and “family” that happens within a school band. Just a case of being in the right place at the right time and keeping my eyes open…  a few others too that just fueled the “creative” in me.

new updates to the website!

I finally took the much needed time from editing to give two hours to updating the galleries on the website! Okay, two hours started at 5pm and ended about 20 minutes ago… it’s 1:27 right now. Needless to say, Stephen, the tech support guy at gate.com, are now on a first name basis, I spent so much time on the phone trying to get things to upload.

I hope you all get a chance to peek in at the “Essence” gallery for our newest senior images, and some favorite older ones I can’t bare to remove yet.

Senior Look At Me books have been delayed, and I KNOW you are all waiting patiently – well maybe not so patiently cause I know you are dying to see your books! Please be aware that we are aware that you are still waiting… we’re working on it promise. (Have I mentioned before that I hate Vista? ~ the eternal source of all my uploading issues!)

So reps, if you haven’t got your Look At Me Book (some of you have them already), send them to the website to cruise around and see. And… Target those JUNIORS!! IF you are still trying to get your 20 referrals, look outside the box! pass those cards out to underclassmen! …Maybe we’ll have to run another contest to see who can get the most junior referrals before December?? Anyone interested?

Well that’s about all the new news here in our little corner of the globe! Back to editing!!

HARVEST IMAGES!!!

Hey Ya’ll, I’m getting ready to wind up the harvest season, and this is the set I will be using for all them kidos that come knocking on my door wanting candy and a photo like last year around the end of the month!  lol…  a twist on trick’o treating! I just had to try it out with this senior too. (thanks Melanie for being such a great test subject!)

Crazy busy!!!

Sorry it’s been forever since I’ve updated everyone. It’s been CRAZY BUSY around here. So many out of town clients! I LOVE destination shoots! Nothing so far that needs a passport, but I’m about due for a new one cause I can see the day coming for one of those awesome “destination weddings!”

With that said, I haven’t been able to post everyone’s images to the blog, but will be trying to update the actual website after I have a few fixes made to it with my host. For now, in keeping with the “crazy” that my life and world has been lately…. Here are my FAVORITE crazy shots with Melanie Seeley. She came just last night to finish the 2nd half of her senior shoot cause we ran out of time the day we did location work. A brave willing soul, she let me try some new things… here are some results:
